Hello SAM-Manares,
I have searched the archive for an answer but di dnot find any so I am posting here. If this has been discused before please excuse and send me the link, thanks.
I have a bunch of SAM-FS tapes that I need to read and recover the data from. The sam-fs on the solaris machine got all wiped out, all I am left is a solaris box with the tape library attached, no backups of sam-fs atall.
I can access the library and mount the tapes, and then was able to read one tape and dump the first file and figure out the block size which happens to be 256k for dd. Using this block size was able to read out the tape. Once I had the tar files I thought simply give the tar command and will be able to untar the files. I keep getting checksum error. I tried various block sizes starting from 32 to all the way in a loop and got no data out of the tar file. I can see the tar file has data, it is about 12 MB, and then i do a od on it, it shows the data. What else can I try?
Thanks.
